Your team just won the series, you shouldn't be so mad. I sense some repressed guilt.

Denver going to get another NBA apology? Doubt that, 1 critical apology is probably enough for 1 series

God, get over it. The right call was made. Durant caught the ball with his foot on the halfcourt line. When inbounding the ball from the sideline you can throw it in the backcourt. It would have been the exact same thing if the Thunder inbounder threw the ball to a teammate down to Denver's free throw line.

But I thought it was the position of the ball for over and back rulings.

You have to be fully in the frontcourt (ball and feet) before you can't touch the line or go back. So if you catch a pass and you are on the line or even straddling it with 1 in the front court and 1 in the backcourt, you can still go back into the backcourt. But once you fully cross over, you can not go back.

Like I said, I think KD still may have committed a violation depending on when the ref called it.

It sucks to have that taint the series if they did blow another crucial call. Of course, they blow millions of calls throughout the course of the game but late calls will also be put under the magnifying glass.

You can't go backcourt with possession of the ball, you can inbound it to the backcourt though. Durant caught the ball with his left foot on the line, not a backcourt violation.

That call was pretty close, the initial catch looked okay (but they only showed us one angle, and we couldn't see the ball), but he put the ball down in the front court and then stepped on the line again.

On replay, that's a good play, he caught in on the line, dribbled and was still on the line. So he never fully established frontcourt position

But what I dont understand is how the ref that was at the halfcourt line called it backcourt, but was overruled by the freaking baseline ref sitting under the basket WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT A REPLAY. I mean, wtf how can you make that call from so far away when the other ref is 5 feet away and called it the other way, and then overrule it without seeing a replay. I mean this guy must have some eagle vision. seems a little fishy.

THANK YOU CHARLES. He is saying exacly what i'm saying. barkley not afraid to speak out on that BS.

[PP34Deuce]

Charles Barkley just said what everyone is saying in here. Talkin about the refs and the one who overrides it.

You know what's f*cking hilarious? The call on the floor was OVER AND BACK. It got turned over and gave back to OKC. Where the f*ck was the refs turning there calls back in game 1? Oh that's right, never happened. We got an NBA apology instead, yay.

Listen. OKC deserves the win. There the better team. They played better. Denver's own play is what lost the series, NOT THE REFS.

However to completely look past what the refs have done in this series is f*cking laughable. I could give a f*ck what it means for the Nuggets because there own play led them to losing anyways. As an NBA fan? It's completely awful questionable calls helped a team who was better in the first place win.

It was a very stressful game man, I was punching the walls and my desk the whole time, damn Westbrook is gonna give me a heart attack soon I guess...
Kevin Durant and Ibaka saved us tonight again. Durant is incredibly ice cold

I love that you said that. Even when my Spurs have calls go against them it's hard to be angry or place blame because in about 99% of games the bad calls help BOTH teams out throughout the game.

That's also a good explanation of the rule. I just looked it up and that's a better explanation that that which I read.

How do you feel about George Karl's coaching?
